Yes, the Save feature is now working for me. Thank you very much! :)

I still get an error when I use Power > Restart MagicMirror

The software does restart correctly. Seems like a false error.

I’m very excited to test this over the weekend. I presently have AlexaPi and MM running concurrently. I’ve struggled to get MMM-AlexaPi to communicate with AlexaPi, but wow this looks a lot more expansive. I’m new to AWS IoT, but your instructions are easy to follow. Great work!

Did you go through these steps - after getting the MM software up and running?

What is the result when you type:

pm2 list

in the terminal?

This module should be able to do just that:

Loving the update so far. But I’m experiencing a couple small bugs. On re-boot I am losing my active/hidden module settings. I get the “Done” confirmation after Saving, but on reboot it’s showing all modules rather than just the ones I had active. I’m also getting “! Error!” when I attempt Power > Restart MagicMirror2.

Remote-Control is one of my favs. Happy to check some logs anything that may help isolate the problem.

@docmucki

I suspect you need to execute

npm install

From ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RandomBackground rather than ~/MagicMirror/modules.

Try:

cd MMM-RandomBackground
npm install

@JbeesonMagic16

add a comma here:

                                    {
                                            url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/WIFE%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics'
                                    },
                            ],
                    }
            }
            {
                    module: 'compliments',
                    position: 'lower_third'

so it looks like this

                                    {
                                            url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/WIFE%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics'
                                    },
                            ],
                    }
            },
            {
                    module: 'compliments',
                    position: 'lower_third'

See if that solves it.

The full config file will definitely help. You also have one more small typo here -

{
    url: 'htpps://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/ME%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics'
},

that should probably be ‘https’ rather than ‘htpps’ but I don’t think this should be breaking your config.

@JbeesonMagic16

Looks like you may be missing a close bracket. Try this:

                    module: 'calendar',
                    header: 'Calender',
                    position: 'top_left',
                    config: {
                            calendars: [
                                    {
                                            symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
                                            url: 'webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics'
                                    },
                                    {
                                            url: 'htpps://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/ME%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics'
                                    },
                                    {
                                            url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/WIFE%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics'
                                    },
                            ],
                    }
            }

@sgtwtf

My solution was to install xscreensaver and use the desktop control panel to disable the screensaver.

sudo apt-get install xscreensaver
sudo reboot

On reboot open the desktop start menu (via the GUI, not the terminal) and I think it’s Preferences > Screensaver Settings. There’s an option to set (and disable) the screensaver. It worked for me. :)

@Burner911

Still a work in progress! I’ve managed to pull score data from the espn site, but exchanging the data between the python script and node helper is really challenging me. I was trying to just reverse engineer one of the other scoring modules, but both my parsing method and lack of javascript experience have made this really really difficult. I’ve been studying several tutorials and working on building simple modules from scratch just to make sure I understand all the socketNotification exchanges.

Now that I’m getting a feel for it, I’ll probably re-write the parser in javascript. It’s a slow process, but I plan to stay at it until it’s done or someone else makes it first. :)

Hopefully we’ll have a new feed from GOES-16 soon as well!

@l8kerjuan

I’m basically a newbie too. I haven’t seen any video tutorials for installing new modules. But this one I’m recommending has some very simple installation instructions. Feel free to send a PM if you want me to walk you through the process.

You can also substitute a different weather module that uses an alternate weather service. I think this one is my fav:

https://github.com/RedNax67/MMM-WunderGround

@l8kerjuan

I suspect this is a problem with openweathermap. My temps and wind speeds have been incorrect for the last couple days as well. I didn’t change anything, just getting bad data. Last night the temp data I was getting over api did not match the weather data on their site - and today even the site-based weather info is off:

http://openweathermap.org/city/5505411

currently showing 34.9 F when it’s actually about 47 F.

Try submitting a “Wrong data” report to openweathermap and hopefully it’s something they can straighten out soon.

Congratz to the new mods and thanks for your consideration!

@kurt

Happy to help! Unfortunately, this is where my knowledge ends. I’m not sure what folders you can see over Filezilla. But again make sure you are in the ~ directory and try this:

cp mirror.tar Dokumente

If you can access that Dokumente folder in Filezilla, you should now see the mirror.tar file.

@kurt

From the ~ folder:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $

type

ls

Do you see the mirror.tar file listed there?

@kurt

Great! I’m still very new to this and I’m not using FTP. But there should now be a file named ‘mirror.tar’ in your ‘pi’ directory.

@kurt

I apologize, I have not used the tar command before. Remove the ‘/’ before MagicMirror. Try:

tar -cvf mirror.tar MagicMirror
